In-District Lobby Visits

Did you know that every citizen has the right to seek a meeting or a lobby visit with his or her members of Congress? In-district, or local, lobbying visits are key to advancing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer equality. Why? Because issues need advocates! Help the community by attending or organizing an in-district lobby visit today!
